whee!~ what a shopping spree! i've spent so much money today!

for the start, while we were heading to bishan for ah qin's autograph session, we went to jurong mrt station to wait for jane and asked her to call us when the train was arriving. and so the call came and cl and i boarded the ultra crowded train. then we came to the realization that we were going towards bishan, not pasir ris. o.O so we managed to squeeze out of the packed train after calling jane and headed back to jurong.

ah qin's autograph session was extremely disheartening. before i begin on that, i got to complain about the j8's security guard. i wish i could slap her the moment i saw her again. it all happened when we got there a few minutes before the autograph session was to begin and stood there immensing in our own and ah qin's voices when this female security guard came over. she questioned if we had the priority ticket and that if we didn't, we're supposed to queue from outside long john silver.

it caused quite a bit of panickness because there was absolutely nobody else except us at the place and we seriously thought all the supporters had went to queue somewhere else. so we rushed down to long john silver on level 1 to look for a supposedly 'queue'. apparently, there was nobody there and we felt we had been cheated. up till now, i still am not sure whether the security guard had said what she should or that she was playing pranks on us. the only thing i know was that i had the ability of slapping her in the face if she had come closer.

anyway, the autograph session ended in about half an hour's time. utterly disappointing and ah qin didn't sing the songs i had expected him to, like his hit, 梵谷的左耳and圣堂之门, both of which are my favourites. i thought his hit would have shown his fantastic vocal and composition talent. what a pity that i couldn't hear him sing these 2 songs live! =(

another disappointing thing to note is that he couldn't even write 'happy birthday' for me. this tinge of disappointment couldn't seem to disappear up till now.

one thing which i'm elated about is his sincerity towards his supporters and music. he'd look into people's eyes while thanking them sincerely. this is partly why i adore f.i.r. sincere music lovers are hard to find and i see their passion for music burning in them. i really admire their attitude.



more photos!

i found these lovely chocolates with pretty packaging, each of which has a different flavour. the mochi inside the chocolate gives me a pleasant surprise! my sis likes the strawberry one. i saw these at mini toons too though i bought them at a candy shop at the basement.

recounts.

i went to meet linda up at imm. oh. then we walked around for a while at imm and nothing at the sales seem to fancy me. when all the shops were closing, we decided we should go giant since there wasn't any place left for us to shop. on the way towards giant, we got stopped by 2 promoters. i didn't want to stop, but linda did and chatted with them. they lure us into having a 'lucky dip' and made us sit down to do a quiz on imm.

the most wrong of all was when we sat down. then they started on a lecture about the insurance programme and what not. we bought it so that we could leave but still, it turned out that we left at 12am as they had to process the stuffs. so i went to linda's house to stay.

i thought my mum would kill me, surprisingly, she seemed quite ok. first, for staying over at linda's house, second, for buying an useless insurance.

whatever. the most important of all, she didn't kill me! =D

we went to shop at the central! =D by the time we finished our dinner, it's already 8 plus so we did some random shopping. found out that many shops were selling clothes which were similar online, but the prices are far more expensive. on second thoughts, they got to pay for the sales' assistant wage, rental and many other payments, so it's still justifiable.

i bought a bright pink nail polish. i didn't know why i took that colour although i was debating between 2 shades of green initially. at the very last minute, i just changed to hot pink! whatever. i've already bought it.

actually, i've received my rejection letter from nus. though i had expected this situation, the letter dealt quite a blow, though i seriously didn't want to admit it. i'm so glad my family didn't try to console me when i said i had gotten rejected. i guess i might just break down.

my colleague managed to get into projects and facilities, which was her 5th choice, last year on the score ccd and i couldn't. how unfair life can be when my aggregate is the same and i place projects as my 2nd choice. how helpless...

anyway, i have given up the idea of going to taiwan. i might just study accounts in singapore or nie, if ntu really rejects me. or should i embark on a poly life instead? i don't count too much on ntu...

the prophet is right.

anyway, i'm going to be quite busy revamping my site! busy busy busy.

i haven't fallen sick for a long long time already.

the stomach pain today couldn't be cured using the gastric tablets, so i assume that it wasn't gastric. it turned out to be stomach flu as expected by wen. i guess the whole situation was worsened when my very first meal was a plate of noodles with excessive chilli sauce. for those who know me well, i don't take chilli. but it just so happen that we forgot to tell the auntie that we didn't want chilli in our noodles despite reminders to do so.

obstinately, i went to meet my besties up, thinking it's just a simple movie-outing which wouldn't cost much of my energy afterall. during the bus journey, i actually vomitted. thank god i had prepared plastic bag before that. so i went home first. so sorry about being the spoiler. >.<

i took a cab home and the fares were half of my medical bills. i swear, cab fares are so bloody expensive.

nevertheless, i'm feeling better already!~~~~



cute huh? they make me laugh!

星期天的傍晚,意料中的宁静。

我突然有着这一个想法。

这么多女人来买鞋,在这么多华丽的外表下,有几位是真正能够负担得起这种外壳的?这种漂亮的外壳,鲜艳迷人,但对很多人来说,是种负担。名牌为什么这么诱人? 大家追求着同一种品牌,被某种品牌牵引着,大家的品味也都相同了。那叫时尚吗?谁主宰着时尚?

看着人来人往,穿着名牌,adidas, LV, bebe, mango等,我心里为他们悲哀。我想,他们认为买名牌是种投资,是一种社会的象征。然而,有多少位是真的有足够的经济能力去负担这种奢侈的外壳?

打了这分工,我清楚地意识到,有钱人是如何蹂躏比他们在社会底层的人。结识新人时,他们从不会问你从那间初级学院来的,也不会认为你是在等进大学的人。对他们来说,读大学的人是不会来做这份工的。确实,因为这是社会对sales assistant的一种偏见。

从另一个角度来看,又有几个大学生愿意来做这种工?坦白说,就连我自己也认为我可以找到一份更好的,更简单,又可以赚更多的工作。

有钱人大概认为自己比做sales的人更高一层楼。天啊!真是幼稚的想法。凭良心讲,这份工作经验会比我以后在公司上班来的经验多一千倍,一万倍。因为在这里,你看尽了人生的丑陋,名牌的诱惑,看清了这现实的人生。纵然大家都不把sales job当成一种经验。多感慨。在这里,我学到得最多。

我好希望名牌可以把那些瞧不起人的有钱人的钱都吸光,让他们尝尝做穷人的滋味!

唱不完的好歌!

我又初恋了(五月天)
每一次从爱里离开 就像是心被切一块
切一块 下次再也不敢放胆爱

谁知道主歌才一半 桥段都还没唱出来
就突然 你的出现爆破了悲哀

难道 我又我又初恋了 不可能 我又我又初恋了
可是 真的真的初恋了 这一种FEEL 
我又 真的真的初恋了

我爱你 你爱我 我们再也找不到藉口
就像是 第一次 一起飞着爱情的自由
我爱你 你爱我 我们再也不需要藉口
又一次 初恋了 就算降讲有一点荒缪 谁在乎喔

我吃了铁牛运功散 因为我内伤好犀利
好犀利 你的魔力真的好犀利

(真的好喜欢这首歌的mv哦!(^_^))


不痛 (张韶涵)
一点点痛的感觉 加上一点我对你的思念
承诺不算太遥远 遥远只剩一瞬间
一步步靠近终点 再差一步我们踏上永远
谎言让人太陶醉 陶醉在你给的世界

我不想不愿不去承认我的执着
怕不知不觉无法忍住眼泪不流~ 
是爱伤害了彼此的自由

你不看不听不说为什么要离开我
我不哭不笑 只剩下沉~默 
带着我的骄傲高飞远走

紧握过的双手 拥抱过的温柔
所有的对错 跟着脚步你一并带走


三国恋 (Tank)
将军 北方苍粮占据 六马十二兵 等待你光临
胡琴 诉说英勇事迹 败军向南远北方离
家乡 在那美的远方 期望在身上 梦想在流浪
肩上 剩下的能量 还能撑到什么地方

等待良人归来那一刻 眼泪为你唱歌

在我离你远去哪一天 蓝色的雨下在我眼前
骄傲的泪 不敢弃守我眼睛
在我离你远去哪一天 灰色的梦睡在我身边
我早就该习惯没有你的夜
勇敢的面对

赤壁 烽火连天战役 只挂掉我们 七万个兄弟
长江 水面写日记 愿你也能看见涟漪
家乡 在那美的远方 泪水背着光 安静而悲伤
肩上 剩下的能量 还能撑到什么地方


还有。。。
黑涩会妹湄的shake it baby,
阿沁的圣堂之门,记得爱,
李玖哲的我会好好过,
蔡淳佳的风铃,
孙燕姿的咕叽咕叽,逆光,原点,
蔡健雅的beautiful love,
梁静茹的暖暖,失意,分手快乐,燕尾蝶,
王力宏的kiss goodbye,
许慧欣的孤单芭蕾,
曹格的背叛,
徐若瑄的i still believe,
黄湘依的毕业旅行,
飞轮海的超喜欢你,一个人流浪,
S.H.E的好人有好抱,触电,月桂女神,
杨丞林的暧昧
jolin 的舞娘,
伊能静的念奴娇。。。

哎哟!对不起,我还沉浸在唱歌的状态。还有很多,一时想不起了。

发点牢骚,今天我等了半个钟头的巴士。真搞不懂,我们浪费的那半个钟头要去跟谁领回?kbox不会给我们多半个钟头就因为巴士没有跟着一定的时间表。真得很讨厌等怎么久的巴士。那时我有一股想告诉坐在我隔壁的人sbs有多烂的冲动。

今天的sales超级好。好到我都忙不过来。一连来了十几位顾客,四个钟头内买了十双鞋!=D 可是,爬上爬下把脚弄得好酸哦!我想,这辈子大概没有怕过那么高,一天内也没有爬过那么多次了吧!不知道这算好事还是坏事,虽是有事情做,易打发时间,但当顾客要的鞋是在高处,我难免会心有余悸,毕竟自己曾从架子摔下来过。大家真该佩服我,我料没有人会有这种豹子胆,爬那一层层的架子。不过,不知道sandy和daniel是怎么可以工作怎么久的。那些鞋真的够压死一个人。总而言之,今天还算不错。=D

今天我终于爆炸了!但是却因为自己的爆炸而害到别人不开心。有点过意不去,但生气时,大家都会口无遮拦地说一些自己平时不会说的话。我也一样。。。

有时,我真的不想听太多。秘密知道得越多,越有窒息的感觉。当别人在说你的朋友的坏话时,你会冷眼旁观,加盐加醋,还是会去告密? 我很过意不去,我选择了去参与这些无知者的对话。当我猛然发现时,心情一直好不起来。言语是多么可怕的东西呀!它会让你身败名裂,也可以让你得到万千宠爱。

有些人,无论他们多么努力,总是得不到别人的讨好。有些人,不用吹灰之力,就能得到大家的赞美。不用努力的人最令我憎恨。世界乃如此不公平。不公平的不只如此。一切的一切,早在这个世界的开始,就已经是不公平的了。然而,我们仅存的,也只有悲天悯人。随便啦,随便啦。一切早就已经命中注定,我们何必强求?

watched spiderman 3 at vivocity wif jan, tl and wen. vivocity cineplex is not bad, comfortable velvet chairs and spacious seats albeit the air con was ultra cold.

as for the show, i'd rate 3 and a half out of 5. tony macguire's hair looked weird during the transitional period, where he turned slightly evil before pricking his conscience. tl and i laughed so hard when he danced because his hair was gel and looked totally splat onto his scalp. anyway, the point is, the whole show was only so-so. i like the actions and animations, plus spidey's new suit, nevertheless, the sandman part didn't exactly make me tear though it did move me a little.

it's quite worth it considering that it's a 2-hour-and-45-minute movie.

台湾大学的招生活动早在三月十五日就截至了。心里难免会有失落。另一方面,又有些庆幸。如果可以,谁会希望飘洋过海,到一个人生地不熟的地方去念书?尽管我很喜欢台湾,但一想到要在那里生活四年,无依无靠,身边尽是不熟悉的脸孔,我的心根本就不快乐。那又不是旅行。。。

我很希望身边的人不要再提起acceptance letter这两个字了。真得很想揍人,我的小小心愿和他们雄伟的志愿比起来,真的是小巫见大巫。我又不是要进什么热门的科系,也不是要当什么医生律师,只是想读自己一直都很喜欢的华文,难道都这么难吗? 你们到底有什么好埋怨的?有一个选择,两个选择,还不够吗?没有想想别人的感受?可以不要再在我面前抱怨了吗?不要说什么,“虽然我收到了,可是这不是我要读的,我根本不知道我要读什么”,或者,“我想收到的是另外一个科系的信,所以现在,我也和你一样很不开心”之类的话。我会替大家高兴,但别来我面前埋怨。

你们不是我!你们不需要面对收不到信的负担与自责!我家里穷,没有办法让我读私立大学,没有办法让我去国外念书。我很笨,唯一能,也唯一想进的,只有华文。尽管进了,对家里也有一定的负担。他们没有说但是我也知道。

我的压力很大。父母的期望,对自己的期望,整个家族的期望。。。老大总是这么悲。。。

撑了这么久,我不想前功尽弃。你们不会了解我一个人熬到今天的努力。对你们来说是理所当然,你们不会了解自己一个摸索到现在的孤单,你们不会了解从小一个人学习到现在的坚强。父母除了浅白的华文字以外,什么也不能教我了。即使我有一点想放弃的念头,你们也不可以怪我啊!可是,我都没有向放弃的念头。。。为什么不给我机会?

等待总是漫长。

眼泪怎么不听话了?

五月天(S.H.E)
黄金海岸的岸边 我们肩并着肩
洁净的蓝天 清澈的水面 吻成一条海平线
看你温柔的双眼 弹着吉他的弦
歌词是诺言 旋律是依恋 唱出一首五月天

五月的天 刚诞生的夏天
我们之间 才完成的爱恋
紧握的手里面 有好多明天
五月的天 梦开始要鲜艳
前方蜿蜒 一长串的心愿
我们一天一天 慢慢实现

大雨冲走了昨天 青春乌云几片
彩虹的旁边 有星星几点 迫不及待在眨眼
海风味道变香甜 沙滩镶满亮片
你哼着永远 我和着不变 合唱一首五月天

RAP 海浪 拼命欢呼跳跃 一遍又一遍
鼓励我们 看谁先吻谁的脸
为这五月之恋 再添一个逗点
再多的五月天 怕也不够我们沉醉

海燕 身边来回盘旋 扮演着领队
仿佛听见幸福在前面不远
为这五月之恋 再添一点信念
往后的五月天 和你走到比永远还远

i finally met up my secondary school clique as a group after 2 years. the only thing i can say is that people change. so distant, though i still enjoyed their company.

the trip to central was an unique one. walking down the aisle, you'd be able to see almost all the sales assistant out of their shopping and fanning ferociously either with their own brochures or some weird electric fans. apparently the air-con was down. we had gone shopping in a mall without air-cons and suffered from temporary heat spells. the air con only came back just at the time when we decided to leave for home.

i hope i have more money to shop!~

click here! for unedited photo! =D

a game of basketball. how about that? we were at the court for less than an hour before we retreated into our cosy, little physical corner. the guys were less than friendly and a swarm of them just came flooding our territory even though we were there first. it's not like they can get the ball in any more number of times than us. =P

a great deal of our meeting up was spent walking around anyway.

i met up with sharon and stella, whom i'd not seen for a looooooonnnnng time. it seemed that they've been keeping in close contact all the while. i didn't know some of the stuffs which they were talking about but i suppose it's really tough having to keep in contact with all of my friends.

i told sharon that it was cel's birthday yesterday. i'd messaged her happy birthday and the good wishes but she didn't respond. i hope i'll be able to salvage a little of our friendship, but i guess it didn't do any good. it's depressing to have things turn out this way... i suppose sharon didn't really care anyway.

we dined in at pepper lunch.

seriously, i can't see what's so fascinating and appealing about plain rice and meat which cost $12 and even more expensive for other meat. i don't think it's worth the price. so the consumers ended up putting lots of sauces to get back what is worth such that the rice became too salty. i bet eating pepper lunch often will cause kidney failure. what's all the fame about?

nevertheless, the green tea ice cream there was superb! the green tea powder was sprinkled on vanilla ice cream and the green tea smell was strong along with the faint milky taste. i like it! must-try! =D

after that, we went shopping around orchard. we went into fox and i quite like their designs. the price seems a little steep now. probably when i start working can i afford this kind of lavish. so for the moment, let me buy the cheapskate, and hopefully, good quality goods to save a good sum of money for rainy weathers. who cares if people say i'm like an auntie?

how about trying a personality test to see which death note character are you? click here! for the test =D

my results:

anyway, it says,
"you are the type of person that takes life as it comes. you think of things on a day-to-day basis, instead of stressing over the future too much. many admire your amazing people skills. you love to take the lead in a conversation, but are always there to listen. you have a countless numbers of friends and always sees the good in everyone. when you want something, you will stop at nothing to get it, and will do anything for the ones you love. you are simple-minded..."

ha, quite surprising. i'm actually misa misa. in my point of view, misa misa is an intelligent girl yet an ironically dumb girl. her plans may be great yet she's blinded by love. on the other hand, she couldn't realise that it's all along been an one-sided love. i thought she's a strong person mentally too. any weak girl might just suffer from a heart attack upon seeing the horrendous-looking death gods. instead, she accepted her role as the owner to the death note and supported the actions of light. such a big chunk of blabbering. point is, i don't think i have that kind of strength and wits.

which misa misa am i?
a childish one?

jane the fortune-teller predicted we might not end up having the same test date, and so it really happened. all thanks to her 'curse'. the bubble tea was cheap, $1 with pearls. not like some cheater bugs who claimed to be $1 and added $0.30 for the pearls so it'd be $1.30.

our laughing gases were turned on from the moment we sat on a stage, which i guessed was meant for chinese operas. jane's actions could spark off series of laughter and we played finger guessing games like we used to play during our childhood. the only difference is that we invented our own games. nevertheless, it's tough to shake off the slogans of the original games so we ended up playing the originals instead. -_-""

some gifts for my family, mostly food. the chocolates are nice though i felt a little cheated by the attractive packaging. i like the cup with the genting logo. it's probably the most 'symbolic' amongst the others since we can find the rest in singapore. ^^ i feel that i've bought a little too much food stuff.
